The Police thereafter visited the university where the school authorities were said to have told them that the student was not anywhere near their premises at that material time.

The father of the suspect also told Police detectives that his son got home around 10p.m that day.

Late Ohamara, in his 30s, resides in a three-bedroom flat at 26 Obayan Street, Akoka with his elder sister, Flora and one Collins, an undergraduate of the University of Lagos and friend of the deceased who was squatting with them.
